Singh's solo exhibition "Afterlife" will feature ethereal thread drawings, installations, and animations of architectural fragments from her (now defunct) family
home as they fracture and unravel into entropy.
Sumakshi Singh is an artist and academic based in New Delhi. She has taught at the Art Institute of Chicago, Oxford University, and Columbia University among others. Recently, Sumakshi designed the renowned windows for Hermes, India. She has mentored residencies for The Victoria and Albert Museum, TheWhyNotPlace 2010 and 2011, and curated for the Devi Art Foundation.
She is the recipient of several awards, including the Asia Arts Future Game Changer award by the Asia Society in 2022 ( to honor artists for their significant contributions to contemporary art), the YFLO award (from the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry) for achievement in the arts in 2019, a Zegna Grant in 2009, an Illinois Arts Council Award in 2007 (in recognition of outstanding work and commitment within the arts) and the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Award in 2005 (to support and encourage excellence, artistry, focus, direction, maturity, and originality in the visual arts).
Singh's installations open up a rich, silent space, which lies just before the world solidified by our perceptions. Our everyday 'given' are often questioned as her work begins to dissolve familiar forms and intimate memories into insubstantial mirages.
